ELEKTROPLAST NEO OCB/B6/1P 6A 6kA 1P Miniature Circuit Breaker

The ELEKTROPLAST NEO OCB/B6/1P is a high-quality single-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide dependable protection for electrical circuits in residential and commercial environments. This device is designed to monitor current flow and automatically disconnect the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit, thereby preventing damage to wiring and connected appliances. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability within standard electrical distribution boards.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers a reliable B-curve tripping characteristic, which is ideal for general-purpose applications where moderate inrush currents are expected. The 6kA breaking capacity provides sufficient performance to safely interrupt fault currents in typical domestic and light commercial installations. Its compact single-pole design allows for efficient space utilization within consumer units, while the durable housing materials contribute to a long service life and consistent operational safety.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Light commercial lighting circuits
• Protection of low-power household appliances
• General electrical infrastructure in office buildings

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for industrial applications requiring high breaking capacities exceeding 6kA or for circuits with high-starting-current motors that may cause nuisance tripping with a B-curve characteristic. It is also not suitable for multi-phase electrical systems as it is a single-pole component.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 6A
• Number of poles: 1P
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Tripping characteristic: B-curve
• Mounting type: DIN rail

How to use

The circuit breaker must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is designed for mounting onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure that the supply cables are securely fastened to the terminals with the correct torque to prevent overheating. Once installed, the toggle switch can be used to manually connect or disconnect the circuit as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6A rating matches the requirements of your specific circuit load.
• Ensure the B-curve characteristic is appropriate for the connected equipment.
• Confirm that the distribution board has available space for a single-pole module.
• Check that the breaking capacity meets the safety requirements of your electrical installation.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to test the functionality of the device periodically to ensure it remains in good working order. Do not attempt to repair the internal mechanism if the breaker trips repeatedly; instead, investigate the circuit for potential faults or overloads.
